Then made mustard - very impressed with this. Soaked the mustard seeds for a day and half in vinegar with a clove of garlic, then it took just a minute to make up the mustard today. The girls all had a taste (think I have odd children as they were all fighting over who got to lick the spatula - mustard at breakfast time, mmm) and declared it just like the other stuff (meaning shop bought). So another great money saver.

Then made a batch of pate.

Lunch - had some left over tortilla's in the fridge. So blended up some garlic and mixed herbs and put this with some mozarella on them and baked for a few minutes. Yummy!!! Served with salads.

Dinner - vegetable soup - chicken stock, garlic, ginger, some soup mix, mixed veg (I bought a big bag of frozen mixed veg - carrot, corn, peas - from the frozen berry place but as we never use frozen veg I hadn't used it. Went perfectly in the soup and the girls shared a bowl of the veg frozen whilst it was cooking - once again did I say my kids are a little odd?) - really nice soup.

Also served up leftovers - and that pork belly from last night was even better tonight!!

LOL Belinda, Lara's fav are "pod the peas" (she actually thinks they are called that). But I don't bother even trying to get them to the cooking stage.You could do the mustard in a good food processor.

What is Thermomix Meals

Hi,

I started Thermomix meals as a daily diary of my use of my Thermomix and an easy resource to link or publish recipes.

When I was researching (for a long time!) the Thermomix the one thing I was unable to find was resources that showed how often and how it was used in a normal home. Lots of great blogs with yummy recipes I was dying to try but I was still worried I'd get one and then only use it for the honeymoon period.

So Thermomix Meals was born.

Mostly this is a daily diary of my Thermomix uses, but all recipes are linked or published at some point. Where possible I do try to link or give an indication of where to find them (recipe book, thermomix forum, my blog, other blog) but esp with the often repeated recipes this isn't always possible within time restraints.

Try searching for the title with recipe as well should bring up recipes I have created (though I'm afraid some are fairly vague as that's how I cook).

If there is anything you particularly want to know about just leave a message and let me know. I'm sure I can find the original source (recipes I like I tend to print out, hence not being able to easily find the original to link to).

I hope you enjoy reading my blog and for those looking into purchasing a Thermomix you find it a useful resource.
